in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem even as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

Greet Andronicus and Junia, ¹  my compatriots ²  and my fellow prisoners. They are well known ³  to the apostles, ⁴  and they were in Christ before me.

an educator of the senseless, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the essential features of knowledge and of the truth –

Now we know that God’s judgment is in accordance with truth ¹  against those who practice such things.

Not ¹  only this, but we also rejoice ²  in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation.

for before the law was given, ¹  sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin ²  when there is no law.

but also for our sake, to whom it will be credited, those who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord ¹  and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

For the law of the life-giving Spirit ¹  in Christ Jesus has set you ²  free from the law of sin and death.

for it is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be in fear, for it does not bear the sword in vain. It is God’s servant to administer retribution on the wrongdoer.

To all those loved by God in Rome, ¹  called to be saints: ²  Grace and peace to you ³  from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

For the righteousness ¹  of God is revealed in the gospel ²  from faith to faith, ³  just as it is written, “The righteous by faith will live.” ⁴ 

so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

But sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of wrong desires. ¹  For apart from the law, sin is dead.

As he also says in Hosea: “I will call those who were not my people, ‘My people,’ and I will call her who was unloved, ¹  ‘My beloved.’” ² 

But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ¹  ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” ²  (that is, to bring Christ down)

One person regards one day holier than other days, and another regards them all alike. ¹  Each must be fully convinced in his own mind.

For the kingdom of God does not consist of food and drink, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

But now there is nothing more to keep me ¹  in these regions, and I have for many years desired ²  to come to you

Do you not know that if you present yourselves ¹  as obedient slaves, ²  you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or obedience resulting in righteousness? ³
